And who he was protesting doesn't change anything IMO.

Here is what we know:

1) Law Enforcement officials charged with protecting a federal representative removed a man from a speaking event.

Everything else is speculation. McGovern's side of the story is the only one we're hearing. Being on a protective detail for somebody most of us have a strong dislike for does not mean these officers are automatically villains. The tapes don't show what happened until McGovern is resisting the officers escorting him out of the room and begins shouting "This is America!".

I wonder what Mr. McGovern's Hero, Julian Assange, would have to say about the situation?

We don't know what led up to the arrest. All I'm saying is I find his story suspect.
